Mole Smash is a fast reflex game — moles pop up at random from a grid of holes, and you have to tap or click them before they duck back down. The faster your reactions, the higher your score.
Click or tap a mole as soon as it appears. Each successful hit adds to your score, and the pace speeds up the longer you keep playing without missing too many.
Keep your eyes on the middle of the board so you can react in any direction. Rhythm matters more than raw speed, and chasing one mole while others pop up costs you points.
The arcade version of this reflex game appeared in the mid-1970s and became a fixture of amusement halls.
